The sight of snow in the High Country sparked "likes" on Facebook, but the joy may be short -lived.

"It was pretty much about 11,000 feet (elevation) and above," said Jim Kalina, a meteorologist and spokesman with the National Weather Service in Boulder. "It was pretty much a dusting."

Some high peaks received as much as one inch of snow, Kalina said, but the weather band was on the move Monday and precipitation was moving out with it.

"After Monday night, it will be dry for the next several days," Kalina said. "It's a start, I guess."

In Vail Monday there's a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms through the night. The high temperature should be about 58 degrees with a low around 35 degrees, according to the weather service. Denver should have a high of about 67 degrees Monday.

Isolated showers and thunderstorms remain in the weather forecast for the northern mountains Monday and Monday night, with skies clearing from the north.

The extended forecast for Vail calls for sunny skies and clear nights Tuesday through Friday, with daytime high temperatures in the 60's and overnight lows in the mid- to upper-30's.

In Denver, skies will also be sunny during the day and clear overnight Tuesday through Friday, with highs around 80 and overnight lows in the 50's.

Meanwhile, skiers, riders and other winter sport enthusiasts can keep their fingers crossed and hope for more cold, wet weather.

And take note: the Colorado Department of Transportation has closed Mount Evans Road from Summit Lake to the summit for the season.
